Depending on numbers present, we’re going to split into three groups with defined speeds.

The 3 groups are;

1. Firstly a “Green” group that will be for beginners/leisure and that group will be in the region of 20-24kph.
2. The next group will be the “Orange” group which is an intermediate group and will be controlled at 25-27kph average.
3. Finally we’ll have a “Red” group which will do in the region of 28-32kph average.

We’ll split into the different groups in the carpark, with Red leaving first, then Orange and finally Green. The orange and red groups will cover the same route but there is also a green group spin that should only take about 2 hours cycling and includes a coffee stop.
